| Yankee Raid on the East Tennessee Railroad |
| Lynchburg, Va. Sept. 24th, 1863 |
| A dispatch from Superintend
Dodamead, of the {Virginia &} Tennessee
Road, dated Glade Springs Sept. 24th, says that the Yankees came into
Bristol yesterday about 12 o'clock and proceeding to the Burnt Bridge
drove off the force engaged in building it; threw down the portion
which had been put up and burnt all the cattle guards between that
point and Bristol, and destroyed water tanks at Bristol, &c. We
now have sufficient force at Bristol and the Bridge to protect them,
and will have the Bridge up so that the trains can pass tonight. |
